Crataegus rivularis is most abundant in intermontane Colorado and Utah and is one of two hawthorns found in Arizona; it is rare in Nevada. There are reports from northwestern Texas (for example, D. S. Correll and M. C. Johnston 1970); they have not been verified. Crataegus rivularis is one of the more common woody species of mesic, valley bottom intermontane habitats. The species flowers early. Crataegus rivularis is superficially similar to the more or less sympatric, less common, C. saligna; it has larger leaves with fewer veins, larger flowers with ten stamens, and larger pomes. It differs from C. erythropoda little other than in leaf shape and ripe fruit color. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Reports of Crataegus jonesiae from Quebec have not been substantiated; vegetatively similar plants from Matapédia and Matane counties have shallowly, laterally scarred pyrenes; sepals are gland-margined and are barely denticulate. Crataegus jonesiae is usually placed in ser. Anomalae. However, it is a particularly distinct species that has smooth pyrenes and other similarities to C. punctata, and the possibility of a hybrid origin should be considered; its leaves range from nearly entire, prototypically punctate, to sharply lobed as in C. chrysocarpa.
